+For a full planet install you will need at least 1TB of hard disk space.
Take into account that the OSM database is growing fast.
Fast disks are essential. Using NVME disks is recommended.
Even on a well configured machine the import of a full planet takes
-around 2 days. On traditional spinning disks, 7-8 days are more realistic.

## Tuning the PostgreSQL database
and even reduce `autovacuum_work_mem` further. This will reduce the amount
of memory that autovacuum takes away from the import process.
-For the initial import, you should also set:
-
- fsync = off
- full_page_writes = off
-
-Don't forget to reenable them after the initial import or you risk database
